Braun and the House of Cards

Don't forget to to downtown tonight for the NEW HOT DOG CART.  WHOO HOOO

You know you live in a small town when a new hot dog cart is the big attraction on a Friday night.  West James Gallery is open until 8:00 tonight!

In other news, I'm working on trying to get those barricades moved in a little so people can walk on the sidewalk next to the bulging building downtown.  I'm also working on solving this mess in a calm way and have been in communication with BOTH sides.

From my point of view, one side thinks the other side is being a bully and has dug in his heels while the other side thinks the OTHER side is just being arrogant and bull headed.  I think we can get this fixed without too much of a blood bath if handled correctly.

Ryan Braun - what's up anyway.

Here is the scoop. Anthony Bosch ran an anti-aging clinic in Florida which was reported to also help out with steroids to athletes.  He was an enemy of MLB a few years ago and refused to name names and answer questions.

NOW - for a price, he has promised to testify for MLB against many players but the target is really is Ryan Braun who totally embarrassed MLB last year.  MLB has no failed drug tests for any of the players being named but, MLB says they have a special loophole where if they THINK a player is on steroids, they can suspend.  They have never used this loophole before. 

HOWEVER - the players union has a few things to say about this like . . ummmm . . you are PAYING Bosch to testify??   Seems just a little fishy don't ya think?   Both sides are lawyering up and this will take a long long time.

Took some overhead shots of our patio.   Not bad for just being dirt 5 years ago.

Now if I could just stop mowing my freaking yard every 4 days!  Today will number #8 of the year. I believe surpassing ALL of last year!

I watched Episode #1 of House of Cards and am totally hooked.  If you watched Revenge last year it's like an adult, political Revenge.  This time Kevin Spacey is promised a sweet job in the incoming administration to the White House but is screwed and given a lesser role. It's time to get even.

The great thing about the show is that Spacey talks to the viewer, winking and saying things like "watch this" and then he twists the knife into a politic politicians back (so to speak).  Watch the trailer to get an idea of what I'm talking about.

His wife Robin Wright is helping him along with a cub reporter working in secret. It's a very sexy political espionage plot. The second season is in production.

Here is the funny thing. The ultimate bad guy is President Walker who is working on some horrible education plan . . . . . so Spacey is out to ultimately screw Walker. We need Spacey in Wisconsin.

I am in love with this show! I love how all of a sudden has this southern accent when "at work" but not otherwise.  

Have a great weekend.
